WILMINGTON – For a non-league match in the middle of the week in December, the final outcome isn’t really important.

To be clear, Wilmington defeated Fairborn 49-28 with six matches decided by forfeits. On the mat, the Skyhawks came out on top 22-19.

“I expected to see some better conditioning from my guys,” WHS head coach Kelly Tolliver said. “I was really disappointed to be honest. These guys are more capable than that.”

It was Senior Night for the Hurricane wrestling program with seniors Cameron Smart, Isaac Allen, Brady Bergefurd and Conner Barton, along with members of their families, honored prior to the varsity match.

Tolliver said his squad will need to be wrestling “better” when it goes to East Clinton for the County Quad 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 21.

Tolliver admits his squad is young and still learning.

“There are a lot of freshmen and sophomores on this team and they’re still learning how to get ready for matches, both physically and mentally, and how to warm-up properly,” he said. “The younger guys are going to learn. But it’s a process.”

Brady Bergefurd and Conner Barton recorded first period pin victories for the Hurricane. Dominic Davidson and Dylan Dummitt both won by decision in their matches.
